This looks stunning, really nice looking paint, what power output do you expect from it?

Keep up the great work

The colour is Arena Red Pearl from the 993, think it suits the curves of the 968 quite nicely

the engine thats in it is from my 88' turbo, was running 312bhp and 322lbsft with a leaky intercooler

im looking to hybrid the turbo, new injectors and im about to start to fabricate the 3" turbo back exhaust so somewhere in the region of 400 of each

i was thinking of one, but very difficult to find the original OEM looking one, and i didnt want it to be to obvious it was anything different to a stock 968, the bonnet catches are annoying me, painting them body colour might be the answer

That is a lovely colour. I agree though, the catches need painting to finish it off

Looking at the pictures, the bonnet catch assembly has been cut away to make space for the inter cooler, so seems a good reason to fit the aero catches! :D
